    TOCS has little to zero screamo influence.  
     

    DTGL sounds nothing like Norma Jean. Norma Jean were a shitty Botch ripoff at this point in their career. 
     

    That 2012 pressing of TOCS is god awful. 
     

    Aaaaand did you get your box? IS it not great sounding? Or are you just listening to internet hearsay?

    TOCS is the better album in my opinion.  DTGL sounded like generic hardcore at the time. You are free to feel differently.  Also redeemer is Norma Jeans debatable best album, so, don't agree with that. 

     

    I've never heard any complaints about the 2012 press. But mine sounds great. Again, you are welcome to think whatever you want about it. 

     

    No I have not listened to the new press. I was responding to this thread where a discussion on it was happening.  If it sounds awesome, great.

    Yeah, for as much shit as I talk about TOCS, it's coming from a place of familiarity.  A lot of it.  I think it was probably one of my first screamo / abrasive listens, if you don't count moments of Thrice's earlier stuff.  I played the shit out of it in my youth, and I'm with you – it'd be a fun nostalgia listen at best, but DTGL & LITSOS just aged so much better.  I haven't even listened to TOCS, digitally, in ages... but I'm sure I'll be hyper-focused on those compressed cymbals the next time I may.

    This is interesting! I actually like TOCS a lot more then DLGL. I think its a very unique blend of "screamo"/hardcore and pop music. DLGL to me just sounded like they were trying to sound like norma jean. Its a solid album for sure, but it just doesnt slap me with originality like TOCS does. But I can also see how people would feel the opposite. 

     

     

    Also its a bummer that this pressing is not great sounding, the  2012 pressing of TOCS is one of my best sounding records, it really sounds fantastic imo.
